Overview

  • Coach Matt LaFleur publicly rebuked Hobbs on July 29 following a low hit during Monday’s padded practice that forced MarShawn Lloyd to limp off the field.
  • Hobbs was benched for the next series and has vowed to moderate his tackling in drills to better protect his teammates.
  • General Manager Brian Gutekunst emphasized that while physicality is essential, players must scale back contact to maintain safety in camp.
  • The Packers are closely monitoring Lloyd’s condition since the injury and have reinforced no-ground tackling protocols across all practice sessions.
  • Hobbs, who signed a four-year, $48 million deal in March to strengthen a secondary with depth concerns, now faces scrutiny over balancing his competitive edge with team safety.
